Another awesome product to keep your dog safe and having a great time!

Gavin Cooper, from Ohio, has come up with a way to solve two problems, with hemp rope! First of all, Gavin has been making paracord dog leashes and collars for a while now and selling them at craft shows and local stores in his area.

He's making dog toys out the 1/2 inch hemp rope and a lacrosse ball. He noticed that he could not keep his dog away from his lacrosse balls when he was practicing.

She would steal them and he'd have to chase her all over the yard to try and retrieve it. So to solve that problem he took his la crosse ball and attached it to the hemp rope! At first he started making dog tugs and retrieving toys with 'paracord' but he worried that the strings might be harmful for dogs if accidentally left alone with the dog.

He searched all over the internet and found hemp rope and how people concerned with making sure their dog's toy were organic used it to make high quality pet toys. That was exactly what Gavin was looking for!

Lacrosse balls are virtually indestructible (and not dangerous like tennis balls) and hemp rope is easily digestible for dogs and does not get stuck in their stomachs like cotton rope does.

Dogs love the earthy smell of hemp rope as well! He sells them locally and also through his Facebook page, and on Etsy.

Support Gavin and help your dog have a better quality of life with hemp rope!
